Chapter one: MAGIC?

Kurama stood in Koenma's office. Hiei was standing beside him, looking annoyed. The door opened and Koenma walked in.

"Ah, Kurama, Hiei, you are here. Good."

"What do you want, brat?" Hiei growled.

"Shall I answer that, Koenma-san?"

"Go ahead. But speak in Japanese, if you would, so that these 2 can understand you, please."

Hiei just stared at them. Kurama appeared to be as confused as Hiei was, which was rare, as the yoko knew many things.

"Ah, of course. Please forgive me." He said, bowing to Kurama and Hiei. "My name is Dumbledore, Albus. I am headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I need a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for this year, and remembered my old friend Koenma-san. He suggested the 2 of you." Kurama glared at Koenma.

"Didn't it occur to you we might have other things to do?" he growled.

"Hai, it did. But there is another reason besides the fact that you are perfect for the job. You see, Karasu is back, and he has teamed up with the wizard world's Voldemort. Voldemort is after one Harry Potter, and you will be guarding him as well as teaching the students how to properly defend themselves."

"W-what? Karasu? How the hell did he come back to life?" "Apparently this Voldemort guy revived him. You will accept the job, ne?"

"H-hai. Will Yusuke and Kuwabara be going as well?" the yoko asked.

"Iie, just the 2 of you. Ah, one more thing before you leave. You shall need translation charms to speak their language." Dumbledore stepped forward and gave them each an earring.

"These have translation charms on them. when wearing them, you will be able to speak English, as well as Japanese. They are self piercing as well." The 2 youkai put the earrings on.

"You may leave now. Inform whoever you must that you will be leaving for around a year to teach at a school in England. Come back here in hour." The 2 nodded, and left with Botan.

After informing everyone, Kurama and Hiei met back in Koenma's office. It took them less than 10 minutes.

"That was fast." Koenma said, surprised.

"Well, there's not that many people we need to tell." Dumbledore stepped forward.

"We will be heading to Diagon alley first." He took out a scroll. "Place a finger on it." He instructed. They did as told, and five seconds later, they felt a tugging at their navel and experienced a strange sensation. They landed inside what seemed to be a bar.

"…the hell? What was that?" Hiei said.

"That was a portkey." Dumbledore said, amusedly. "Remember, the people here speak English, so if you want them to understand you, you have to speak English as well."

"Hai. Where to now?" Kurama asked. In response, Dumbledore walked out the back door and into what seemed to be a dead end. The 2 youkai followed him. Dumbledore tapped a brick with his wand and an archway was revealed. They walked through it and it disappeared behind them. Dumbledore gave them each a bag of money. Kurama looked inside.

"What are these?"

"The gold ones are Galleons, the silver ones are Sickles, and the bronze ones are Knuts. 17 Sickles to a Galleon and 29 Knuts to a Sickle." First Dumbledore led them to a shop. "Ollivander's wand shop." Dumbledore said in explanation. They went in and saw lots of shelves with dusty boxes on them.

"Hello Dumbledore. What brings you here today?" said a man Kurama assumed was Ollivander, appearing out of nowhere.

"These 2 need wands."

"Oh? New students?"

"No, teachers actually." Ollivander looked surprised.

"Wand arm?" he asked. Kurama and Hiei looked at him strangely.

"He means the hand you write with." Dumbledore clarified. Kurama held out his right hand. A tape measure began to measure him. Ollivander went to a shelf and took down a random wand. "Cherry wood, 9 inches, unicorn hair." He said, giving it to Kurama.

"Well, give it a wave." Kurama waved it, causing the light to blow up. "Not that one." He took down another wand.

"Willow, 10 ½ inches, phoenix feather." Kurama took this wand and waved it as well. The desk melted. "Not that one either. Try this." The man said, handing him another wand.

"Redwood, 8 inches, hippogriff feather." A quill came to life and attacked a bird that was flying by. Ollivander shook his head.

"Try this, Elder, 9 ½ inches, demon hair." Kurama waved it and rose petals came out of the tip. "That will be the one then." He turned to Hiei.

"Wand arm." Hiei looked at Kurama confused.

"Your sword arm." The yoko clarified. Hiei held out his right arm. The tape measured him as well.

"Cherry wood, 6 ½ inches, dragon heartstring." Hiei waved it and black fire came out of the tip and swirled around him. "That'll be the one then. First try, too." They left the store with their new wands and got the rest of the things they would need to teach their class.

Harry walked through the train, looking for an empty compartment. He finally found a compartment that had only 2 people in it. One was short, with gravity defying black hair, and he was glaring at the wall. The other was sitting beside the short one. He had long red hair, and was staring out the window thoughtfully. They both turned to look at the door when he opened it.

"Umm…can I sit here?" Harry asked. The redhead nodded while the other just grunted. "I don't think I've seen you before. Where are you from?" harry asked.

"Japan." The redhead replied. "Who are you?"

"Harry Potter."

"I'm Kurama and this is Hiei." The boy-who-lived nodded. They sat in silence for a while before the door opened and Ron and Hermione came in.

"Hey harry." Ron said, and then he seemed to notice the 2 Japanese students. "Who are they?"

"Kurama and Hiei." Ron seemed to be satisfied with that answer and sat down next to harry. Hermione did too. They talked the rest of the way to Hogwarts. Kurama and Hiei left somewhere before the train stopped. Harry wondered where they went, but didn't give it much thought.

Harry sat with Ron and Hermione at the Gryffindor table. After all the first years had been sorted, Dumbledore stood up.

"Before we all eat, I would like to introduce the new staff we have this year. Taking over the Defense Against the Dark Arts position is Kurama Minamino and Hiei Jaganshi, from Japan." Harry gasped as the 2 professors walked in.

'that's the 2 from before!' He thought. 'I had no idea they were teachers!' after everyone ate, they headed to bed.

soooo, did you like? please review! this is a rewrite of my original story, but i was stuck on that and didnt like it, then i had a brilliant idea: why not make the reikai tantei teachers at hogwarts! i dont think ive ever read a story like this before so i decided to go for it! and i already have the first chapter up. the other reikai tantei members might make an appearance, im not sure yet, but i will try :D please read and review! :)

p.s. one other thing, when kurama is in his yoko form he will be refered to as Youko Kurama but in his human form, if i refer to him as the fox spirit, it will be yoko. ex: 'Youko said.' and 'the yoko said.'
